So watching Drew, who is in on the greatest feud going in wrestling vs. Punk (IMHO), just now chime in on Priest, got me thinking. I have been a big fan of his since he returned from his sabbatical back in 2017. Loved his Lesnar feud and of course love this version of Troll McIntyre, but I have no figures of him nor do I want one. All of them have been easy to pass on.
So it got me curious, if any of y'all have any wrestlers that you really enjoy watching on TV/PPV, but will not pull the trigger on their figures? Or are underwhelmed by their figures?

I haven't been super happy with any Rhea figures yet. I did order her most recent figure though so I am hoping she is good in person along with all the new Judgement Day figures. I also haven't loved any of Dom's figures yet.

Same goes with Dom, was easy to pass on E87 or whatever it was and E105 but E109 looks legit! |

I haven't been a huge fan of Kurt Angle's Elites or UE figures, although I do have all of them besides the Shield Elite
Hope Kurt gets another UE in his Wrestlemania 22 attire

Kurt Angle and Bret Hart.
I haven't bought a single Bret Hart Mattel figure. Those scans just don't click with me.
I have the Entrance Greats Angle, the Summerslam 02 basic, and the Team Angle elite. The Summerslam basic is probably the best...and even that one is meh.
We need some great Kurt Angles...
I'd like:
No Mercy 02 with Smackdown tag titles
Team Angle redo with serious scan
Wrestlemania XX

I cannot understand the Bret Hart faces. I just saw the Legends Lou -- and the face is INCREDIBLE. How can they never come close to Bret in SO, so many tries??

Bret Freaking Hart!
Even the best head sculpt/scan from Mattel is ok at best.

I was thinking about this the other day....
I don't own a Bam Bam Bigelow figure. None at all.
No idea why? I watched his matches... I have no issue with him? Not sure why I never bought a Bam Bam Bigelow figure.
The only conclusion I could come to.... My typical criteria for "my fan list".... is can I think of one great match or moment that really stands out in my mind? For whatever reason, with Bam Bam..... I can't. He was always just kind of ..... there. Maybe I missed something or didn't watch the right matches, but Bam Bam just never "wow'd" me enough to buy a figure.
No idea why.

And good point, upper mid carder- main eventer, yet you are correct, nothing memorable (other than losing to LT) and never really veered away from his one standard look. |

Rhea is a good choice....I actually went back and bought 102 when I seen 110 wasnt going to be in purple...Im a faction builder so I needed that matchey matchey goodness in my life LOL.
LA Knight is my current main one. I like the guy and his matches but have passed on his elite figure so far...hoping the next one is in a better attire.

Bigelow was left alone against 3 giants at the time, beating Bundy and OMG before losing to Andre. To child-me, and even now having recently rewatched it (with nostalgia eyes, I’m sure), it was a star-making performance. Bam Bam had power, speed, agility and presence! |

As to your original question for this post- Bobby Heenan and Jimmy Hart. Both are iconic managers of the 80s, who I would like to own MOC, but just haven’t been feeling any of their figures in package. I’m hoping this changes with Coliseum Collection at some point!

I desperately need Cody to pull his ace card and get a proper Jim Crockett era Dusty Rhodes Ultimate. I cannot believe mattel decided to make the  ing polkadot version. In general, I only try to collect Ultimates & Superstars so a lot of people get skipped unless it's the only option (ex, blue pants sgt slaughter is never getting an ultimate so i have to settle for the s1 legends) |

I should agree with you on LA, but I have LA blinders on and totally love his E108 (despite its many faults, starting with the head sculpt and lack of those mirrored circular shades), YEAH!!! |

I don't like the legs on any Mattel Steve Austin to date, other than Hollywood Blond Stunning Steve.

Big fan of Bobby Roode, especially his TNA main event heel run, but I dont have any of his figures.

Bam Bam had a really solid stretch in 93 with some great matches against Bret and Razor. But in the Big 4 PPV era, there weren't a ton of opportunities for long spotlight matches. He had another really good run in ECW with a super memorable match against Taz, but probably around the period where the product was still largely only hot in the Northeast. Incredibly talented big man, but it seemed like he was constantly in the wrong promotion by probably 2-3 years. I really hoping Mattel makes an Ultimate with his purple/blue flame attire soon. |
